Transcription

1 Description Page 1 of 8 The MA3 is a miniature rotary absolute shaft encoder that reports the shaft position over 360 with no stops or gaps. The MA3 is available with an analog or a pulse width modulated (PWM) digital output. Analog output provides an analog voltage that is proportional to the absolute shaft position. Analog output is only available in resolution. PWM output provides a pulse width duty cycle that is proportional to the absolute shaft position. PWM output is available in and resolutions. While the accuracy is the same for both encoders, the version provides higher resolution. Three shaft torque versions are available. The standard torque version has a sleeve bushing lubricated with a viscous motion control gel to provide torque and feel that is ideal for front panel human interface applications. The no torque added option has a sleeve bushing and a low viscosity lubricant (that does not intentionally add torque) for low RPM applications where a small amount of torque is acceptable. The ball bearing version uses miniature precision ball bearings that are suitable for high speed and ultra low torque applications. The shaft diameter for ball bearing version option is 1/8" rather than 1/4". Connecting to the MA3 is simple. The 3-pin high retention snap-in 1.25mm pitch polarized connector provides for +5V, output, and ground.

(1) When a pulley, gear, or friction wheel drives the shaft, the Ball Bearing option is recommended instead of the Sleeve Bushing. The ch ip that decodes position uses sampled data. There will be fewer readings per revolution as the speed increases. The formula for n umber of readings per revolution is given by: n = (60 / (rpm * 96 usec)) (2) only valid with negligible axial shaft loading 1 lb.

Materials Parameter Shaft Bushing Dimension Stainless Brass Magnetic Field Crosstalk The MA3 absolute encoder contains a small internal magnet, mounted on the end of the shaft that generates a weak magnetic field extending outside the housing of each encoder. If two MA3 units are to be installed closer than 1 inch apart (measured between the center of both shafts), a magnetic shield, such as a small steel plate should be installed in between to prevent one encoder from causing small changes in reported position through magnetic field cross-talk.

4 Page 4 of 8 Power Supply Volts Supply Current ma Power-up Time ms Analog Output Operation Analog output is only available in resolution. The analog output voltage is ratiometric to the power supply voltage and will typically swing within 15 millivolts of the power supply rails with no output load. This non-linearity near the rails increases with increasing output loads. For this reason, the output load impedance should be 4.7k and less than 100pF. The graphs below show the typical output levels for various output loads when powered by a 5V supply. Parameter Min. Typ. Max.

(3) Transition noise is the jitter in the transition between two adjacent position steps.

5 Page 5 of 8 PWM Output Operation The magnetic sensor chip in the MA3 has an on-chip RC oscillator which is factory trimmed to 5% accuracy at room temperature (10% over full temperature range). This tolerance influences the sampling rate and pulse period of the PWM output. If only the PWM pulse w idth ton and the nominal pulse period is used to measure the angle, the resulting value also has this timing tolerance. However, this to lerance can be cancelled by measuring both ton and toff and calculating the angle from the duty cycle. Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
